to be honest, nothing interesting is going on in my life right now. i don't like discussing my love life, because apart from the fact that i'm an extremely private person, it frankly isn't very intriguing either. talking about school is not appealing because i'd rather not have to think about anything school related more than i already have to. [and even if i did write about school, it would mostly be complaints, and who wants to listen to anyone whine?]
so what can i say? i read all these other people's blogs and they are all so inspired. i wish i could be inspired every day. everyone else seems to have been found by inspiration. Where does their inspiration come from?
i can attempt to write about classic things. love and life and time and beauty and death and pain. but what can i say that hasn't already been said by hundreds of people before me? even opinions are supposed to be unique, but more than one person can have the same opinion. in the thousands of years mankind has existed, is there anything at all that hasn't already been done or thought or said or felt?
am i just boxing myself in by trying to be inspired by groundbreaking, deeply profound things?
maybe inspiration comes naturally and simply, and precisely when you're not looking for it at all.
i need to be inspired. maybe inspiration will find me soon...

inspiration is a funny and beautiful thing.
most people don't know inspiration when it finds them. it's usually not evident until much later where their inspiration comes from.
it will find you, when you're least expecting it, and you may not even realize it.
who knows, maybe right now you're someone else's inspiration...
Kate,
I find that inspiration like perspiration (in a very weird way) seems to come out of us not when we try to make it, but rather when our life draws it out.........sometimes I sit to write and truly nothing seems to be flowing from my heart or mind. Other times I have to stop what I am doing because the words won't stop spinning in my mind........they HAVE to come out!
To me the words you just wrote here were inspired.......because, girl, you had thoughts that just had to come out.
That is inspiration.
So write, sister. Write when your heart says write, even your not sure why!
I love you!
Tammy
